I suggest waiting until you get a receipt number before sending anything else to USCIS, otherwise they will not know which file it belongs to.

Does the marriage registration contains the following?

- Certificate must be issued by the registrar of marriage.

- Must contain the signature of the registrar.

- Official Seal

- Husband/Wife Pictures

- Date of marriage

- Date of registration

Usually the certificate got a title saying "certificate of marriage" or "Marriage certificate"

Do not send them the "Marriage Agreement" or "Deed of Marriage" [Read below], I got a RFE due to this, and had to get the correct "certificate of marriage" and this required me to travel back.

Marriage Certificates

Available. The Hindu and Muslim communities do not usually register marriages, however, marriages by Hindus, Buddhists, Jains or Sikhs may be voluntarily registered under the Hindu Marriage Act of l955. This Act does not apply to Muslims, Parsis, Jews or Christians, who may register their marriages under the Special Marriage Act of l954, or the Christian Marriage Act. Marriage certificates for marriages registered under these Acts may be obtained from the offices of Government Registrar of Marriages, which are located in the headquarters of each district. The certificate will be issued by the Registrar only if the bride and groom personally appear before the official and pay the required fee.

A certificate of marriage between Muslims is usually issued by the priest who performed the ceremony. The document is in the Urdu language, and a certified translation is required. Marriages between Christians are usually obtainable from Church records. If the marriage has not been officially registered, then two sworn affidavits giving the names, dates and places of birth of the bride and groom, and the date and place of marriage, as well as the names of the parents of both parties are acceptable. The affidavits must be executed by one of the parents of each party, or if the parents are deceased, by the nearest relative of each party who was present at the wedding.

Note: A document termed as "Marriage Agreement" or "Deed of Marriage" to live as man and wife (under the Registration Act of l908) is not confirmation of a marriage solemnized legally under the Indian Marriage Acts now in force. Such a document does not confer upon the contracting parties’ legal marital status under the law.

As queuedup explained below, If they dont like what you send to USCIS; they will send the documents back or they will do a RFE [Request for Evidence].

Just wait and see if they send you a RFE. Dont send anything in till and if they ask for it. You may confuse them. It will be alright. There is nothing you can do now about it, wait and see.

i think you should be fine. dont send anything again as it may delay processing of your file. only provide it if they send a RFE. but make sure to give the actual marriage certificate to NVC as they are very particular about it.
